Hello! I live in Bangladesh, and quite a lot of people in Bangladesh have the first name ‘Ibnul’. I am also known by this name, and my parents, when naming me, got the name from a name book, and according to the book Ibnul means ‘famous’.
But I have come to know that Ibnul actually means ‘Son of’, and people who know Arabic often ask me whether my father’s name is Muhtadi or not(Muhtadi is my middle name).
Now I want to know is there any way the word ‘Ibnul’ could have a different meaning?
I will be much obliged if you kindly answer my question.
